I'm in the process of selling and all proceeds will go back into my IRA account.

If they are on term or month to month you can ask, you can offer cash for one to leave but if they refuse you need to go to the courts.  3. 

Instead, I'd like to sell this property and take the proceeds and roll that into a rental that's closer to me and use whatever tax advantages I can to assist me.I'm confused with how the 1031 works and was hoping someone could explain to me how to "use" it.  

LLC's also have many other inherent problems e.g. you may have difficulty transferring the property to a spouse, or relative since the LLC essentially owns the property and it may not be considered to be a personal property.LLC's do not provide you with any protection when someone sues you because if the court awards damages the LLC cannot pay then it is very simple for the Plaintiff to go after your personal assets, or if someone sues you outside of the LLC then the Plaintiff easily get a Charging Order and goes after your personal interests in the LLC.It is much easier to just file for a Ficticiious Business Name, use a DBS e.g.

My guess is this will end up in court and they'll decide one way or another. 

We have no idea what clauses may be in your contract, force majure decisions/applicability in your local courts, etc. 

We made over 200K in equity and paid 3 years of mortgage with the airbnb proceeds.

I made contact with courts and they seem to have no idea on what to do..

By the 2nd week, an eviction was filed and a court date was set.

The only way to protect yourself is good liability insurance, or get a PM with his own E&O insurance.I bought a business from an S Corp owner thinking the S Corp would protect him, got $1 Millions liability insurance, was sued personally anyway for $3 million and the court refused to drop the suit against him personally.
